Black Pudding with Coarse Cheese and Horseradish I just got back from The Philippines for a conference. As usual crappy food on the plane, so a little peckish what can I eat? A quick rummage in my food fridge, and I spot the stuff I bought last week at my mate Chris's, The Cheese Shop @ Joo Chiat. And what did I create, well I created Black Pudding with Coarse Cheese and Horseradish. ALL items were bought from his joint. I am so happy now, knowing that this is going to taste so so good. I'm ...

Spize, stunning Halal food in Siglap A new joint has just opened for us in Siglap, and it is a cracker. Spize, stunning Halal food in Siglap. We have been waiting an age since Mayura restaurant closed to know what was coming to Siglap's foodie scene. And hey presto a few week back now it arrived, Spize, stunning Halal food in Siglap. It's a beautiful place inside, with huge murals on the walls, and a really nice open family atmosphere. This is 100% a place for family dining, we love it. ...

Bar Roque @ 165 Tanjong Pagar - Amy's 10th Birthday I cannot believe this is our first time here. So many of my mates have visited here, and I have been invited, but there's always something... that comes up. You may remember my blog for Stefan's other place, Do-Main at Tanjong Katong. What a knock-out lunch we had there. So as we were towards the city for Amy's actual party it made sense to have her dinner at Bar Roque @ 165 Tanjong Pagar - Amy's 10th Birthday. Chef Stefan promised something ...

Bakery and Bar, @ 112 Telok Ayer Street What an absolute gem this place, in the very cool foodie location of Telok Avery. Literally a spit from my work, but I have never been to see my mate Mark there before. But believe me folks it is now going to become a regular for me, and it's getting a die die standard as Mark personal hand-crafts and serves and everything is truly amazing. You have to try Bakery and Bar, @ 112 Telok Ayer Street. I am just ...

The Butcher's Kitchen, @ Suntec Off goes the Kennett crew goes to Suntec today. Shopping for Amy's birthday present for next week, to pop in to my favourite shop Tott, and of course to grab some lunch. It was a little stumble on this place to be honest, but I saw wagyu on the menu, they have the meat cuts of a cow sign (like my new tattoo), and thought it has to be. So today we had lunch at The Butcher's Kitchen, @ Suntec. I we were all so very glad we did too. It was amazing! As I sat ...

ChillaxBBQ @ SpaceMatrix 17th Birthday Party So yesterday the crew, minus one, but plus one, delivered on ChillaxBBQ @ SpaceMatrix 17th Birthday Party. What a cracker it was - I think. Attacked all night by mosquitos, blistering heat, 75 pax and all all that - but we rode it well. Truly great food went out. Seriously very good food went out. Let's have some thank you's; Funny but these guys just did our office fit out for FWOW, and a damned good job of it too. Here is Space Matrix. CheeseS...

6 Week Air Dried Beef Ribeye 6 Week Air Dried Beef Ribeye was a little experiment one day. Mates of mine had been talking about it, and I happened to be in Parkway. So boom, Harvey Norman to buy a little fridge. Cold Storage to buy a load of Malden Salt Flakes. And finally a whopping two rib, beef ribeye steak from The Butcher. All ready so now let's let games commence. So this is a waiting game. It's so so simple to do, you just have to have patience. Then, your 6 Week Air Dried Beef Ribeye ...

Basil, Thai Kitchen @ Parkway Parade The gang and I had one of those unexpected dining moments last weekend. We had lunch at Basil, Thai Kitchen @ Parkway Parade. An unassuming little place, opposite from Din Tai Fung. The latter was mobbed with something like a 45 minute wait. Still VERY proud that those guys got Michelin recognition, it truly is such cracking food. So due to that wait, we ducked in to next door. And I have to say, how delightfully surprising this lunch was. I would ...
